FAQ

Did you draw all the images yourself?
Yes, all images on this website are handdrawn by myself.
The tattoo designs starts with a sketch in pencil on a sheet of A3 paper (200 mg/m2).
Then I erase and tweak the sketch for some time, and finally I trace the image with a black
marker and use Copic markers to add the shading.
The image is scanned in a 300 DPI .tiff file into the computer and some stains and dust are removed in Photoshop CS3.

Are there meanings and thoughts behind your tattoo designs?
No, I’m a graphic designer who combines different tattoo styles into one esthetic design. The elements are influenced
by the Maori Ta Moko style and the Kirituhi style. Some tribal elements like triangles, curles and the “white space” in
the designs are my favourites. The tattoo’s I create are “graphical art pieces” and not “stories/meanings in art”

Do you also design custom tattoos?
No, I’ve been doing custom tattoos for a number of years, but for now I’m too busy do accept any custom projects.
